Unable to Join TCP/IP Game #16

Description

@botterbob

Hi - thanks for the great program! It's fun to play around with it and observe the offline bots collecting them riches :-)

However, I fail to use the mode "Join TCP/IP Game".

Problem Description:
What it seems to do:

  • start game
  • wait intro screen delay
  • click "MULTIPLAYER 2"
  • click "TCP/IP-Spiel" (in my German game version, I guess it says "TCP/IP game" in English?)
  • click "einklinken" (probably "join" in English?)
  • Then the popup with the question for the game IP appears. In German the text says "Host-IP-Adresse eingeben, um sich in das Spiel einzuklinken" ("enter ip address to join game" ?).

Next, the cursor is moved around a bit, and the popup remains open. The character list is not displayed. Following that, the bot resets itself, the console says "Unhandled location 41" and "Restarting".

Observation:
If I manage to click "OK" quickly enough AND select the desired character quickly enough (< 1 second, probably) everything works as expected. However, this is not desirable, as the bot then can not automatically join a game.

My interpretation:
For me, the issue seems to be IP-popup's text being too long in German. It is displayed in 3 lines, which may push down the "OK" button a bit compared to the English version. Maybe that causes a click to miss the OK-button.

Edit 2:
In the meantime I also tested with the English version of the game. The error occurs there too.

Suggestion: maybe you could replace the "Click the IP-is-OK-button!" command in the Join TCP/IP game process with the return key?

Edit: fixed typo
